I was fortunate to pick up these swords this weekend. They appear to be made by the same person, even though there are some small variations between them. In the event that they weren't made by the same person was there a set pattern (military or otherwise), that these blades conformed to?
A translation would be appreciated if possible. |

I think they looks like standard or common bjeloscapi (white) Yataghans, nice ones though.
But would not go as far say they come from the same maker. If you check auction catalogues, you'll find most look alike or close to yours. Tip: both handles could use a little restoration or threatment to stop the splitting getting worde and I would recommend to give the right one in the second picture a nice soft cleaning to avoid deteriorating and bringing it back to its former glory. You will be very please by the result ! More info on the yataghans you can find in some older threads: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...ataghan&page=2 http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...light=yataghan http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...light=yataghan |

Since yataghans are the topic of the day, I thought that I might try again to get a translation.

indeed it is, actually Bosnian and very identical to one of mine as you can see on the pics
The bottom one with the Tughra is the same and Drac2k's but without the dots and also very similar to four I am trying to restore at the moment, bringing them back to their former beauty... ![]() Last edited by gp; 19th December 2023 at 10:25 PM. |
